Posted by: Kenny Chan onJanuary 12th, 2016

Ford did not have much to unveil in terms of new vehicles at this year’s NAIAS, but an updated Ford Fusion was one of the vehicles. New for the 2017 Ford Fusion is a new Fusion V6 Sport trim that includes a twin turbo 2.7L EcoBoost V6 that provides 325 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The new Fusion has all the fancy parking technology from its predecessor, the hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability. It is also the first vehicle available with Ford’s pedestrian detection system. One new feature is the new rotary gear shift dial to help reclaim some interior space.

Subtle changes adorn the exterior, with a new black mesh grille and updated LED DRLs in the headlights. The 2017 Ford Fusion will be available this summer, but for those interested in the V6 Sport trim, you’ll have to wait a few weeks longer.
